I was lucky enough to see one of the 421 SD Tempest cars up close and personal, many years ago, very impressive little car, lots of aluminum, and very aggressive sounding little car, never saw it race, the man who owned it was a collector, he’s probably long gone now, wasn’t that young back then, I think it was in the late 80’s, or very early 90’s, he had a large collection of Pontiac Cars from the 60’s, all SD cars as I remember.

Love this video and anything regarding the history of Pontiac and collectible rare cars. Well done! I have a1967 Firebird Convertible which was my Dad's car he purchased in 1971, been in the family since then. A Fun car and gets looks each time I take it for a cruise. Thanks for the work to compile this information.

You should have had the 73 Firebird formula 455 super duty on the list . These cars had the shaker hood of the Trans Am . Only 43 made and just 10 with a 4 speed.

All 8 1969 Trans Am convertibles were ordered by John Delorean for the 8 Pontiac District Managers in North America. As of today, 4, possibly 5 of them are in the same collection. All RA3, 4 autos, and 4 4speeds. The last one seen in public was the only "triple white" built. It was auctioned at Mecum Kissimmee a few years ago. It may have been sold to the "Brothers Collection" with the other 4 they have.

In the 1971 Pontiac GTO The Judge with the 455 2X 4 barrel with the factory tune-up you were lucky to get 14 miles per Imperial gallon, I did a tune up on one that was getting 8 miles per Imperial gallon, to get up to 14 mpg took 2 cans of carb cleaner to clean it out , they carboned up really back in day-to-day driving and remember, even in Canada we had the 55 mph speed limit, not enough to keep them clean.

That’s kind of a nice story but Pontiac never made a 71 judge w 2x4 bbl carbs . They were single 4 bbl only . There wasn’t even a 2 x 4 bbl intake made for that at the time. It woukd have had to have been a SD 421 intake which wouldn't fit properly on the intake passages , aftermarket intake and carbs, or a RAV engine w a very very rare one of 4 dual quad pro stock intake Not to mention I have a dead stock 69 350 4 bbl firebird convertible (higher compression ) and tubes properly it gets 21 mpg around town. Beating even my diesel pick up for milage. .

I never saw a 71 Judge in person and been to so many shows. They all seem to be 69's. My 71 Cutlass Supreme SX had a 455, 16mpg would be good for me with a 2barrel, but it was tired or it should've been a lot better on gas. I remember those 455 Pontiacs were torque monsters, Buick too, and station wagons were the best place to find one for a donor

I would submit one more for your list: in 1962 Pontiac made exactly ONE Daytona Champion, which was an otherwise Grand Prix with a 421 and a 4-speed, but with special badging. It was painted Aztec Gold with a black vinyl top and presented to Fireball Roberts after he won the 1962 Daytona 500. Fireball was a friend of my family, and this car in our driveway always drew a crowd, in Nascar-mad Charlotte. Glenn loved the attention, especially from the kids and always had photos and other memorabilia in hand to sign. I still cherish my memories of him.

In 1988 I bought a 69 GTO Judge convertible at the Pomona swap meet for $3k at 3am. I smoked some tires around LA for a week before shipping it back to Australia. I moved to the US in 89 & sold it down there for $27k but nobody wanted it because we had to convert cars to right hand drive back then to be road legal & I wasn't about cut it up. It was a nice rust free Colorado car, one of 108 convertibles.

MY buddies 68 Firebird had the 350/265 hp engine and it really ran. The unique thing was that it was a 3 speed/floor manual Hurst. I've often wondered how rare that might have been.

I don't know how Ford got away with calling their big pickups "Superduty" as the name belongs to Pontiac.
@thomaskerschen5363

Apparently, Pontiac never trademarked the name or they abandoned the trademark at some point as the "SuperDuty" name has been owned by Ford since about 1998.

The price of a single 4 bbl 390 hp 421 super duty for 1963 was $1,003.91. Seems pretty unlikely that the dual quad from '62 was $2250.00. Where are you getting this number?

This list is not really all that accurate. I have a 1971 Formula 455 HO Ram Air M22 4 speed 3:73 gear car that is Lucerne Blue with a white interior. Only 321 Formula 455's were built in 71. 159 were 4 speeds, 7 were 3 speeds, and the other 155 were automatics. Of the 321 cars only 109 of them had the Ram Air option. Mine is one of those cars and when considering the almost 50/50 ratio of automatics and 4 speeds probably only 50 to 60 of the 4 speed cars had Ram Air. Not many of them came with 3:73 gears either because you could not get air conditioning from the factory with that gear set.

I bought a 74 SD-455 trans am with auto and 308 gears because I wanted AC. I would have preferred a 4 speed. I did change the gear set to 3.73's after warranty and it ran much better. The block off plate on the shaker made it home to the garage before having the rivets drilled and the plate thrown away. The exhaust system went as soon as the warranty was over for glass paks and a real dual exhaust instead of that sideways mess. Some one talked about fuel economy? 6 mpg in town and 12 on the highway. But gas was $.54 so really not too much as issue.
